Peter Jay Sharp Youth Arts Fellowship

The Peter Jay Sharp Youth Arts Fellowship for promising Brooklyn high school students in the arts was seeded by a $75,000 gift from the Peter Jay Sharp Foundation.

Each year, ten Fellows are selected from nominations submitted by Brooklyn-based youth arts organizations. Each fellow’s affiliated arts organization receives $2,500 toward scholarships for students; throughout the school year, Fellows meet with arts executives in Brooklyn, attend professional performances and trainings, and receive expert advice and support on pursuing careers in the arts.

Since 2011, Fellows have made behind-the-scenes visits to the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), STREB Action, Mark Morris Dance Center, Brooklyn College, the Brooklyn Museum, and more.
